Fall

Fall is here. There simply is no mistaking it. School has taken over in full force, like it always does. However, this year I feel some hope stirring. I feel that this year might be a good year. The kids are odd and quirky, as are all the kids I draw to me, but the are interesting, creative, and they want to learn- and for me that is essential.

S is doing well on his new work out regime and that also helps motivate us to eat better as a couple. This is helping my body go back to normal. My stomach went down first, the boobs are following. I still need to loose some weight, get back in the gym and regain my stamina, but things are progressing.

We are swamped with family from all sides. Birthdays, meeting new relatives, getting David off to college, and trying to keep both of our families from being lonely are all-encompassing tasks. I am currently putting off calling back V, since we can't figure out if we want to go to N's second birthday party tomorrow, and also trying to juggle my parents. sigh. So life as usual- well for us at least.

The house is coming together, we had a full house last weekend, and it was nice to have every room on the first floor somewhat done so it felt less like a dungeon, and more like a house. S really likes the colors in the new bathroom- even more than me, so that has been nice.


The yard has beautiful grass, (I neglected the front a little this year, with the baby stuff, but I can fix it next year) and the garden is pumping out the produce. I can't seem to keep up with it!


All in all things are moving up and progressing. We still really want a baby, and I am doing my level best to stay focused on this taking a good long time, and certainly happening when it is the right time. Until then, life goes on.
